Re: Saturday Service Plays
Matt Rivers
For Saturday take Syracuse at home.
There is no doubt that Jim Boeheim's squad has been an absolute dog with fleas on the road of late. 'Cuse just has not been the same team away from the Carrierdome and therefore have struggled mightily to put it lightly. They allowed 100 in a loss in Providence, then 102 at Villanova and in the last game lost once again in a non-cover at UCONN scoring a whole 49 points.
But back home here and against a team that also has not been all that themselves in Georgetown I will take my chances with the talented Orange.
When Syracuse comes to play they can beat anybody. This team is extremely talented when healthy as guys like Devendorf, Flynn, Harris, Onuaku, Rautins and others can ball with the best of them. These guys are explosive as heck and can run any opponent out of their gym. Forget about the fact that they have dropped five straight on the road because they are not traveling today and that stat is meaningless to me here.
A month ago the Hoyas pounded the Orange 88-74 and today is all about revenge. John Thompson III's squad has not been right since that win and are a porous 4-7 in the Big East. Yes they certainly have to win this game but the 6-6 Orange do not have all that much wiggleroom themselves and at home with revenge definitely should win and cash the ticket.
Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning ain't taking the court today and after losing six of seven the Hoyas are in trouble yet again!

Today's Selection:
OK, we were way off last night with Villanova as the Wildcats got destroyed by West Virginia. That's fine. We're bouncing back today as we're taking Wyoming on the road at San Diego State.
Sure, Wyoming isn't a sexy pick, but consider that the Cowboys are catching about 17 points on the road and they're playing an Aztecs team they always play tough and you'll realize this is a no brainer.
Consider that over their last six meetings Wyoming is 3-3 SU against San Diego State, but is 4-2 ATS and beat the Aztecs outright when they played Jan. 14. In their first meeting of this season the Cowboys were installed as 6 ½ point underdogs, but on outright 83-79.
Over their last five games in San Diego, Wyoming is 3-2 ATS with the Cowboys going 2-1 ATS their last three games in San Diego. In that five game stretch the Aztecs have only outscored the Cowboys, on average, 75.2-66.6.
Wyoming will keep this one close and will definitely utilize the points the Aztecs are laying. Take the points in this one tonight and take Wyoming on the road.

Connecticut at SETON HALL +11
Winner Friday night on Butler minus the points, now 7-2-2 our last 11 comp plays!
Early Saturday action, and we are backing the double-digit home dog Seton Hall plus the points against # 1 Connecticut.
No doubt UConn is strong, and we are not calling for the outright upset here, but Seton Hall has been coming on strong down the stretch, and they enter today's tilt having won their last 5 straight up, while going 4-1 against the spread.
The Huskies will have to adjust to life withour guard Jerome Dyson, and while they should have enough to get by today - they are 8-0 straight up the last 8 meetings, 7-1 against the spread! - UConn did fail to cover the first meeting this season against the Pirates, winning by 15 as the 18 1/2-point favorite.
Expect another Huskies outright, but getting on top of double-digits on the road without one of your starters could be a dicey propostion.
Play on the Hall plus the points.

Cincinnati +16' at PITTSBURGH
Yet another FREE winner Friday night with Valpo who got an easy win and cover over Loyola-Chicago. That makes 12 of 19 days with comp winners and we'll get you another one today with Cincinnati at Pittsburgh.
This is absolutely crazy how many points the Bearcats are getting in this one. So let's thank the Man, grab them and cash in when this one is over.
Cincinnati has won three straight and seven of its last nine (SU and ATS) and they just beat St. John's on Wednesday 71-61 as a nine-point favorite. The Bearcats have been one of those teams that can play any style, lighting up the scoreboard in a shootout or playing a defensive struggle like they did at Georgetown a week ago, winning 64-62 in overtime as 10 1/2-point road 'dogs.
Pitt has won four straight and they rely on their offense to outslug the opposition as they have allowed 69.4 points a game over the last five.
Cincinnati has gotten the cash in each of the last three meetings with the Panthers even though they have only won one of those games. Last year the Bearcats went to Pitt and hung tough all the way through, losing 73-67 as 10 1/2-point underdogs.
Let's be grateful, grab all these points and play Cincinnati.

Stanford at CAL -6
Winning days 12 of the last 19 with FREE selections and another one for you here with Cal hosting Stanford in Pac-10 action.
California has won two straight, sweeping the Washington schools last weekend, including an 86-71 blowout of Washington as one-point home 'dogs. Tonight the Bears have got payback on their mind as their rivals come to town and they'll get it.
Cal lost to Stanford 75-69 as three-point favorites about a month ago and they will get that payback today.
The Golden Bears seem to get the offense going at home, averaging 79 points a game on the home court and shooting 53 percent from the floor, including an amazing 49 percent from the 3-point line. Defensively, they allow just 62.5 points a game on the home floor.
Cal is 9-3 ATS on the home floor, including 8-2 ATS in the last 10. The Bears are also 6-2 ATS in their last eight as a favorite. In this series, the favorite is 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings and Cal will be improving on that one tonight.
The Bears have got a trio of players that can score at will in Jerome Randle, Patrick Christopher and Theo Robertson who put in a combined 57 points in their last outing.
Let's go with the home team in this one as Cal has something to prove.

Stanford at CALIFORNIA -7
The G-Man is on a 9-4 comp play run the last 13 days, 14-6 overall the last 20 days.
Call me a "square", but I am buying into the Mike Montgomery-factor today, and looking for his Golden Bears to defeat his old team Stanford both straight up, and against the spread.
The Bears lost in Palo Alto 75-69 back on January 17th, as the Cardinal did cover the 2 1/2-point impost in that one, but this game is at the Haas Pavillion where the Golden Bears are a whopping 14-1 straight up, and a nifty 9-2 against the spread in lined home games.
Cal does lead the nation in triples at nearly 45% will most definitely bang home more than they did in their meeting on the road when they hit just 5-of-15.
Johnny D's team has dropped 4 of their last 6 straight up, and are just 3-4 straight up away from the cozy confines of the Maples Pavillion.
Have to lay the wood here, as Montgomery evens the score against his former employer.
G-Man on Cal minus the points.

1* on Ohio -12.5
Toledo is a terrible 4-20 on the season, and their play away from home has been pathetic to put it lightly. The Rockets are now 1-13 SU in road games, going 2-9 ATS in their lined road contests. They are losing by an average of 13.2 points per game when playing away from home. Ohio, on the other hand, has done basically all their damage at home this year. The Bobcats own a 9-1 home record and have gone 5-2 ATS in all lined home games. They are outscoring their opponents by 12.3 points per game at home. Coming off a bad loss at Western Michigan, look for Ohio to show some determination at home Saturday where they have been brilliant all season. Toledo is 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) after scoring 55 points or less this season. Ohio is 15-6 ATS (+8.4 Units) in all home games over the last 2 seasons. You will be counting your chips early into the second half as Ohio gets off to a fast start and never looks back. Take Ohio and lay the points.

Bob Harvey
Washington Capitals vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Play: Washington Capitals -186
All eyes tonight will be on Ottawa defenseman Mike Green as he looks for a spot in the NHL record books.
Green has a goal in seven straight games, and with one against the Lightning he'll break the NHL record for the longest streak for a defense man, set by Boston's Mike O'Connell in 1983-84. Whether he get's the "biscuit in the basket" tonight is still to be determined but what isn't in doubt is that Washington should trounce Tampa Bay.
The Capitals have had their way with the Lightning beating them seven straight times including twice this season. Florida is 2-1-0 to start a season-high six-game homestand. But before you schedule the parade and buy the confetti,consider that the two victories came over the two bottom feeders in the East: the Islanders and Thrashers.
Having the "Great 8" on the ice with you won't hurt your chances at history either. Alexander Ovechkin is skating his way towards another MVP title. He's leads the NHL in goals with 37 and is near the top with his 70 points. And like Green, he's streaking as well, putting up a point in his last seven outings.
As a fan of Hockey history, I'd like to see Greenie get his goal tonight. I certainly expect his Senators to come away with another convincing victory.

3* on Boise State +4.5
Reasons why Boise State covers the spread Saturday:
1.) The Broncos' home-court advantage is the real deal. Not even 24-1 Utah State will be able to run over Boise State Saturday. We are predicting an upset here as Boise State is 11-1 at home this season. Utah State did already beat the Broncos by 14 points at home back on January 17th of this year, but it won't come nearly as easy on the road against a team that has suffered only 1 home loss all season.
2.) Utah State is coming off a hard-fought 9-point win at Idaho just two nights ago on Thursday, so the fatigue factor will play a big part in Boise State pulling off the upset. The Broncos last played on Monday, so they've had 4 days to rest up for this game compared to Utah State's 1 day of rest. That extra 4 days will pay dividends, as Boise State has had more time to game-plan for Utah State and correct what they did wrong in the first meeting.
3.) Trends favoring Boise State. Utah State is just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. Meanwhile, Boise State is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Broncos are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games following three or more consecutive road games. Boise is 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss. The Broncos will put together their most impressive win of the season Saturday as they hand Utah State only their 2nd loss of year. Bet Boise State at home.

Re: Saturday Service Plays
3 Units Georgia Tech -3.5
Think this is a good match up for Tech. They catch NC ST coming in off an emotional win over Wake Forest, and on top of that I feel they match up favorably. Lawal, Aminu, and Peacock are the exact opposite of St's big men. They are physical bangers that aren't afraid to mix it up. Coster and McCaulley are soft. That is NC ST's main problem this season. Both Costner, and McCaulley would rather hang around the 3 point line and shoot jumpers rather than get in the paint and use their big bodies to bang. I give GT the big advantage there. GT's record may not show it, but they have actually improved a great deal since the beginning of the season. They are always competitive at home, and have a great opportunity to pick up another win. Another area of concern for NC ST is their shaky point guard situation. They really don't have one. I am not going to count Javi Gonzalez as a point guard because imo he is the worst D1 basketball player on scholarship. Hewitt may be a little more intense with his full court press Saturday, and try to force the turnover prone Pack into some unforced errors. I expect the Tech big men to have a big day, and pick up an easy win. I will be very surprised if they don't get this one. GT by 10+ 3 Units (524) Bradley -5.5 -110 Usually don't like laying this many points, but I think this matchup can justify so. Evansville is basically a 1 man team. Shy Ely has been left to carry most of the load, as his back court mate Jason Holsinger has been in a huge slump. The usually reliable Holsinger is only shooting 35.5% from the field, and 31.1% from 3. Both numbers are way down form his first 3 years. With Jason struggling so much defenses are able to focus their attention on Ely. Bradley especially matches up well with the Aces because they have an abundance of quick, athletic guards that they can throw at Ely throughout the game. Evansville usually struggles against teams that can match them in the back court, and Bradley can certainly do just that. And all this isn't even touching on Evansville's road woes. The Aces have been blasted numerous times on the road this season. They have never been a good road team, and this year is more of the same. You also have to question if they aren't left a little burned out and demoralized after they poured all of their energy into a late 2nd half rally at Illinois St Thursday. They were down 23 int he 2nd half when they went on a tear to tie the game only to eventually fall by 2 points. One may question if that loss was a breaking point for their season, but it certainly doesn't help. As for Bradley they have lost 4 straight coming into this game, but all 4 wins are justifiable. They lot by 4 at illinois st, and had 2 other road losses to Drake, and Creighton, mixed in with a home loss to red hot N. Iowa. All of those match ups were more difficult for what is on deck Saturday. Bradley always has a strong home court advantage at Carver Arena, and they should be able to hold court Saturday. Evansville just can't match Bradley's depth at guard. Bradley by 10+ 3 Units (545) Kansas -1 -110 3 Units (561) Virginia Tech +4 -110 As much criticism Gary Williams has received I actually think he has over achieved this season. The personnel on this team plain and simple just isn't that good. VT will have much more fire power in this game, and plays just as good on defense. The key to the game will be Jeff Allen. I really don't think Maryland has much of an answer for him in the paint. He should be able to have his way down low, and control the glass. VT also has more firepower on the perimeter with Vassallo and Delaney. One of the more pleasant surprises in the acc may be the developement of Malcolm Delaney. He isn't the player who will back down to Vaszquez, and will give it right back to him. While VT has no problems scoring with 3 legit scorig threats Maryland has the lowest scoring average in the ACC with a 66ppg average. Maryland has picked up a few wins, and I think are becoming slightly over valued b/c of those. I have this game at a pk em so I will gladly take the points in a game I think will win straight up.(583) Miami Oh/W. Michigan Under 119 -110 3 Units (637) Ohio St/Wisconsin Under 123 -110 With Wisconsin regaining old defensive form I think it's time to back an under I think is set 6 points too high. The proof to Wisconsin's defensive improvements lie in the numbers. Here are their last 3 games and the points they allowed; Ilinois 50, Penn St 44, Iowa 52. Now Ohio St is no offensive fire power so I expect more of the same. Plus these teams have played 3 consecutive under games. In the past 3 meetings neither of the teams have shot above 44%, and 3 of the times they were held under 37%. There really isn't going to be much explosiveness on the court. I expect your typical Big 10 slugfest (or is it pillow fight?) 3 Units (634) Boise St +4 -110 I will gladly take 4 points with a team that is 11-1 at home this year. Boise has always been strong at home where they shoot the ball close to 50% from the field. Utah St is known for their efficient offense, but their road fg% is actually less than Boise's home fg%, just a little food for thought. Anyways I think Utah St is starting to become a little over valued because of their gaudy 24-1 record. To be honest there really isn't much to pick apart on the Aggies. They are a very sound team. Nothing flashy, but they get the job done. However there is no way they should be favored over Boise on their court. The Bronco's have played 4 straight road games, so they will be extra eager to play their first home game since January 24th. Boise has been playing very efficient ball themselves,and match up pretty well with Utah St. This is another game I see as a toss up so will gladly take the points in a game I expect to win straight up. 3 Units(657) Portland +9 -110 9 points from a team they just beat by 18 just a week ago? I will take that thank you. St. Mary's still doesn;t have Mills back in the lineup so I don't see what the difference will be? In that game Portland pretty much handled them from the opening tip. They took advantage of no Mills, and most importantly kept the battle in the paint to bascially a stale mate. The rebounding battle was even, and neither Sanhan or Simpson really got off. In fact both Simpson's and Samhan's production has dropped since Mills got hurt, which shows just how important he is to this team. Samhan particularly struggled last game against Gonzaga,and against Portland. The Pilots actually have better offensive statistics overall anyways. They shoot it 46.3% from the floor and an amazing 41.4% from 3, compared to St. Mary's 44.3% from the floor, and 33.8% from 3. Portland's ability to shoot the 3 so consistently can keep them in games vs practically anybody, and when they are on can blow out anybody. In their last meeting Portland was able to shoot 59.3% where St. Mary's was limited to 39.6%. I have seen St Mary's play a few times since Mills went down . This offense is no where near as efficient as it was with him playing. From the 2nd half of the Zaga game where the injury occurred to Thursday's game against Zaga they haven't improved at all. In the 4 games since his injury they have won only 1 game against lowly San Francisco. They blew a halftime lead against the Zags, got beat by 18 against Portland, lost by 18 against Santa Clara, beat SF, and then lost again to Zaga at home. This is a very good Portland team, who will be coming in with the confidence that they already beat this team. Ravio went off for 27 in the first meeting, and STM hasn't picked up an answer to him since then. I expect another close game, and wouldn't be surprised to see them pull out the win.(660) Hawii +2.5 -110 3 Units (529) Old Dominion -1 -110 3 Units (529) ODU/VCU Under 130.5 -110 563) Wake Forest/Florida St Under 143 -110 This is way too many points for a game involving Florida St. Any time this team meets a top level opponent the games have been low scoring. FSU doesn't have explosive scorers, other than Douglas, so they rely on strong defense to keep games close. They have the top shelf athletes that allow them to do so. Here's a quick glance at both teams defensive numbers on the season. FSU fg def 37.9%. 3pt % 31.2%. WF fg% def 37.8 3pt % def 28.7%. Throw in the fact FSU only shoots 42.8% from the floor themselves, and 33.3% from 3 and the numbers are telling us this will be a low scoring battle. If the numbers don't tell the truth then the match ups will. FSU has plenty of big bodies to throw at Wake's big, ahtletic front line. There are not many teams in the country that can match up with them, but I think FSU can. If their performance on the glass against Pitt, one of the best rebounding teams in the country, then maybe their job on Clemson did? FSU has held both UNC, and Duke under 40% from the field this season, and could be able to a struggling Wake Forest team to that list. I am expecting to see a Clemson type 66-61 score for a final here.

Florida -10 over GEORGIA
The Gators are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, while the 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Georgia has been downright awful this year as they are just 9-15 overall and 0-9 in the SEC. The Bulldogs have been outscored in league play by 15.4 ppg, including being outscored by 14 ppg in their SEC home games. The Dawgs have put up just 64.8 ppg overall (246th in nation) and just 58.7 ppg in SEC play. Now the Gator defense isn't what it once was but they still allow just 66.7 ppg overalland 43.3 % shooting. The Georgia defense comes in allowing just 68 ppg overall on 42.4% shooting, but in SEC play those numbers ballon to 74.1 ppg and 46.1% shooting. Not good when facing the 22nd ranked scoring offense in the nation. Florida comes in averaging 78.8 ppg on 48.8% shooting (11th), including scoring 77.4 ppg and shooting 47% from the floor in their SEC games. Geogia just doesn't matchup well with any team in the SEC nd I don't see them being able to stay with a very solid Florida team for more than the first 5 minutes. This game should be a rout.

Look for Dallas to be sluggish this evening, and for CHICAGO to improve to 14-7 when playing against a team with a losing record; great value!

Utah St. at Boise St.
Prediction: Boise St.
The Conference Bear (Utah State) takes on a Conference Cub (Boise State) Saturday night at the Taco Bell Arena where the Aggies battle the Broncos in Boise. These same two squads squared off in Las Cruces earlier this year where USU emerged victorious, 79-65, as 13.5-points favorites. The Broncos have quietly compiled a sterling 34-8 SU mark at home with only 4 losses by more than 4 points. Boise's 14-7 ATS mark as home dogs of 6 or less points this decade has seen the Broncos win eleven of those contests straight-up on this court. Given Boise's state of urgency (tied with Nevada for 2nd place in the WAC) along with Utah State's comfy lead atop the standings, look for the Cub to take a bite of the Bear here tonight.

OTT +145 vs MIN
The Senators are hot right now and might be worth a look here as a big dog. The Wild have been very inconsistent and are hanging their heads a bit after a loss to the Wild in their most recent game. As for the Senators, they've started to turn things around as they've adjusted to the coaching change and they are riding here after another big win in their most recent game. The Senators won big (5-2) at Philly on Thursday and they bring a ton of momentum with them into Minnesota on Saturday night. Take a look at Ottawa as a potential investment opportunity for Saturday.

Minnesota at PENN STATE -2'
On paper this isn't the best match up for the Nittany Lions, who've lost 3 in a row SUATS, and have not beaten this Golden Gophers team since Janaury of 2004. However, this game is not being played on paper, its on the Hardwood, and fact of the matter is this is a solid spot to back this Penn State team and here's why:
First, we've seen this Minnesota team struggle on the Big Ten trail, going 1-3 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a conference visitor, with the only win over that span coming against lowly Indiana! Not only that, but Minny also had trouble dispatching the Hoosiers at Williams Arena 4 days ago, winning 62-54, but failing to cover as 17-point home favs. All this tells me the Gophers may be stumbling a bit, and this is not the spot to be coming in half-cocked.
Second, the Lions are desperate for a win having lost their last 3 games, and I can't think of any better spot that today to snap their slump. The Lions have a real axe to grind in this contest, having lost their last 8 meetings with Minny. While it can be argued that both teams are struggling, there's no doubt its a hell of a lot easier to break out of your funk at home.
Finally, the big mismatch here is the sputtering Gophers offense (58 ppg on 39% shooting L5 games) versus a Penn State defense that has been rock-solid at home this season, allowing 57 ppg on 41% shooting. In other words, DO NOT expect the Gophers offensive woes to end this afternoon, as they're walking into the Bryce Jordan Center against a very pissed off pride of Nittany Lions! In the end, Penn State snaps their losing streak, taking advantage of a young Gophers team thats proven plenty vulnerable on the Big Ten trail this season.
Take Penn State over Minnesota in this college hoops match up.

Western Kentucky vs. Troy
Play: Western Kentucky
Troy is red hot with nine straight victories and that helps us immensely here. With first place on the line in the SBC East, Western Kentucky gets excellent line value and that is usually not the case with the Hilltoppers who are still the class of this conference unless some other team can prove otherwise. Western Kentucky was favored by 12 points in the first meeting this season on New Year's Day and it won that game by 23 points. While Troy has improved, the Hilltoppers have not fallen back and as a matter of fact they are 10-3 in 2009 while Troy is 11-2 so the line swing for this meeting is simply too much. Even giving four points on both sides for home court advantage, the Hilltoppers should still be favored by four points so we will gladly take them at an even number on Saturday. Western Kentucky is ranked 77 spots higher while playing a tougher schedule in the process. Both of the Hilltoppers conference losses came on the road but they were by a combined six points. They have proven they can win on the road against the elite following an early season win at Louisville and I hardly consider Troy as part of an elite group. It is revenge time for Troy tonight and the short price is helping sway the public that way as well. The nine consecutive wins do not hurt either. The problem is that Troy does not match up well here and the Trojans simply are not the better team and motivational revenge can only go so far. The nine-game winning streak is impressive no doubt as is the huge win at Arkansas-Little Rock and the last win at home against Middle Tennessee but other than that, there were no good wins during this run as the other seven victories came against teams that are all .500 or worse in the Sun Belt Conference. Prior to this winning streak, the Trojans went on a 4-7 run and that included some blowout losses and no quality wins. Troy has peaked at the right time but it still is not going to be enough. Western Kentucky has won 11-straight games when scoring 80 or more points including a 3-0 mark this season and with this game expected to be a high-scoring affair, it favors the Hilltoppers. That 3-0 mark includes a win against Troy when Western Kentucky put up 99 points which was easily a season high. The Trojans can no doubt score but their problem is defense as they are allowing 45.2 percent shooting including 46.4 percent at home. As far as efficiency numbers are concerned, Western Kentucky has a 108.6 rating on offense compared to 106.5 for the Trojans. Defensively, the Hilltoppers are at 104.5 while Troy is at 108.8 so Western Kentucky has the edge on both ends and that is even heightened more due to the strength of schedules played. This is obviously a big matchup and one enormous edge for the Hilltoppers is that they have been in this position before while this could be considered one of Troy's biggest games ever. Experience in these situations can not be more important and the young Trojans will be at a big disadvantage in that regard. Western Kentucky is 6-0 ATS in the second half of the season over the last two years when playing teams that are winning between 60 and 80 percent of their games. Troy meanwhile is just 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games following a win as an underdog. You have to give the Trojans credit as they were not predicted to be in this position but the run ends on Saturday against the far superior Hilltoppers. 3* Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

1 Unit on Kansas -1
The Wildcats are rolling, but KU is one obstacle I don't see them conquering today. KU won the first meeting by 16 points and K-State has been the Jayhawks home away from home as they are 10-1 SU and ATS in their last 11 there. This young Jayhawks team still is not getting the respect it has earned from odds makers and is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 because of it. A tight loss at Mizzou in its last games gives Kansas the focus it needs here to come away with a win. Kansas is 8-0 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games this season. Take the Jayhawks.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
KANSAS vs. K. STATE
This is just not another game for both teams and last year kansas St. upset the Jayhwaks but this year's game is even more critical. After an 0-4 start in conference, the Kansas St Wildcats (17-7, 6-4) have shocked everyone to win six in a row and they are probably the hottest team in the conference. A victory over Kansas would put them into contention for a first-division Big 12 finish.The defending national champion Jayhawks (19-5, 8-1) have won eight of their last nine. Cole Aldrich, the 6-foot-11 sophomore, is one of two Big 12 players averaging a double-double and could give Kansas an advantage over the Wildcats inside and junior guard Sherron Collins, averaging a team-high 17.6 points, will be mixing it up on the perimeter with Kansas State guards Fred Brown, Jacob Pullen and Clemente. For K State,Clemente is averaging 14.3 points, while Pullen is averaging 13.6 and leads Kansas State with 40 steals. Last month in their first meeting of the year, Collins scored 24 points and freshman Tyshawn Taylor scored 20 as the Jayhawks got off to an 18-0 lead at home and cruised past Kansas State 87-71 but this game is at K. State where its is going to be crazy and loud which will have the Widcats playing on Top of their game. Kansas has lost all but two of their last 39 meetings with their archrivals. Both teams will have trouble stopping each other in this type of environment and this game will come down to the wire.

Goat are a collective who hail from a small and very remote village called Korpolombolo in deepest darkest Sweden. Legend has it that for centuries, the inhabitants of the village of Korpolombolo were dedicated to the worship and practices of Voodoo. This strange and seemingly unlikely activity was apparently introduced into the area after a travelling witch doctor and a handful of her disciples were led to Korpolombolo by following a cipher hidden within their most sacred of ancient scriptures. The reason it led them there is unknown, but their Voodoo influence quickly took hold over the whole village and so they made it their home - there, they were able to practice their craft unnoticed and unbothered for several centuries. This was until their non-Christian ways were discovered by the Church and they were burned out by the crusaders, the survivors cursing the village over their shoulders as they fled. To this day, the now picturesque village of Korpolombolo is still haunted by this Voodoo curse; the power of the curse can be felt throughout the grooves of the Goat records.
Holy Wave - (Set time: 9:15 PM)
"Holy Wave is a 4 piece from Austin,TX. They play a mesmerizing style of drone-y neo-psychedelia that while challenging at times is mostly pure otherworldly gold. Sonically they may owe a bit to Spacemen 3 and Galaxie 500 , but Holy Wave remains charming with vague familiarity, honest in their presentation, and infectious enough in their down tempo take to warrant our attention."

Baffoni still treats his customers as if they were family, and that includes serving great food at very reasonable prices. Risotto di mare is filled to the brim with seafood, while old favorites like the gnocchi with gorgonzola still pack a punch. Wine specials make it particularly attractive after work, too, for a classier-than-average happy hour.

Hey, did you hear the good news? We managed to avoid soaring headlong off the fiscal cliff yesterday. Granted, the House pulled the plug on a bill providing emergency aid to people whose lives were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy to do it. But they did it. Hooray!(?)
Anybody who thinks Reddit is just for misogyny and creepy porn is only PARTLY right. They do their fair share of good as well. The story of a man dying of cancer is one such instance. Thanks to the good people of Reddit this loyal Trekkie will get to see some, if not all, of the new 'Star Trek' movie before he dies, thanks to the one and only J.J. Abrams.
It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
If you left the theater after 'The Dark Knight Rises' not really knowing what just happened to you, but certain something wasn't right, here's a video for you! It's everything that's wrong with 'The Dark Knight Rises,' summed up in less than three minutes.

Steve Austin column: Downtown stroll bring back fond memories
I walk the downtown sidewalks quite a bit in the evenings to get my 45 minutes of exercise. It's nice walking downtown. There's nice, adequate lighting. The store windows give you a little bit of diversion from the ho-hum. And every now and then you get a pleasing whiff of those great steaks cooking on the grill at Rookies.
The other evening when I was walking near the northeast corner of Second and Elm (where Old National Bank is now located) I remembered another whiff of a pleasing smell I got when walking to Holy Name School every morning.
It was the smell of fresh bread and pastries baking at the Kentucky Bakery. I wasn't very old -- an elementary schooler -- but I learned quickly that there was eating delights where those smells originated.
The Kentucky Bakery was, as I remember it, a large building that fronted Second Street but ran all the way back to a driveway that separated it from the old Gleaner building on Elm.
They probably baked, for the most part, earlier than my 7:30 a.m. journey to school, but the sweet smell lingered through the morning. The bakery also had a big, broad, flat- roof awning all the way down the front which was great to slip under if you got caught in the rain.
That smell stayed in my mind all day because I knew I'd be walking back that way about 3 p.m. Even that late there would still be plenty of merchandise displayed in the large glass showcases right inside the front door. There was many a day that I saved half my 20 cents lunch money allowance for a stop at Kentucky Bakery.
My favorite from the case was the crispy, cream-filled "Cream Horns" which were probably a nickel apiece. Kentucky Bakery is where I enjoyed my very first "Cream Horn" and I still like them today (of course, who wouldn't?) A close second on my shopping list was a treat I think they called a "Bismarck." It was a round chocolate-topped delight that had the consistency of a donut, but was enhanced with that same white cream filling. YUM!
I could smell the bakery (in my mind) the other night when there was a little bit of a breeze on a cool night in downtown Henderson.
My mother worked and there was no one at home in the afternoons at our upstairs Main Street apartment. So there was no rush for me to get home (we didn't have "no" Internet). Kentucky Bakery was just one of my stops on the way home from school. I'll share some others with you down the road.
I know you've seen those church bulletin "bloopers." Here's a new batch someone sent me that are pretty funny.
- The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.
- Ladies don't forget our annual rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things you don't need. Bring your husbands.
- The peacekeeping meeting scheduled for Thursday has been cancelled due to a conflict.
- Don't let worry kill you-- let the Church help.
- Ms. Charlene Mason sang, "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
- Next Thursday will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
- Our minister will present his farewell message next Sunday after which the choir will sing "Break Forth Into Joy"
- At the evening service the sermon topic will be "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice.
- The church has purchased eight new choir robes due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
- The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement of the church Friday afternoon.
- The Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. Please use the back door.
- Weight Watchers will meet at 6 p.m. at the church hall. Please use the large double door at the side entrance.

The Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics at Seattle Children's Research Institute will host its Seventh Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23. Conference participants will examine the various ethical and public policy boundaries and complexities of providing healthcare to children. The conference, entitled "Who's Responsible for the Children? Exploring the Boundaries of Clinical Ethics and Public Policy," will be held at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center on Seattle's downtown waterfront. It can also be watched live via webcast at http://www.seattlechildrens.org/research/initiatives/bioethics/.
The conference will focus on the complex issues intensified by the current battle over healthcare dollars. While most agree that healthcare providers, institutions and government agencies have moral obligations to care for children, the debate continues about the priority these individuals should be given. The process by which pediatric healthcare issues are resolved is complex and contentious, yet healthcare providers and institutions are forced to make tough decisions daily. Some of the questions the conference will address include:
"Sharing knowledge with the broader community to advance healthcare for children is a key priority for Seattle Children's," said Benjamin S. Wilfond, MD, director of Seattle Children's Research Institute's Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics. "This year's bioethics conference provides a timely opportunity for experts to discuss much-needed solutions to the bioethical and policy complexities of making sure all children receive the healthcare they need."
Conference speakers include: Stephen Bezruchka, MD, MPH, from the Departments of Health Services and Global Health, University of Washington; Erika Blacksher, PhD, from the Department of Bioethics and Humanities, University of Washington; Arthur Caplan, PhD, from the Emmanuel and Robert Hart Center for Bioethics, University of Pennsylvania; Larry Churchill, PhD, from the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Benjamin Danielson, MD, from the Odessa Brown Children's Clinic; Douglas S. Diekema, MD, MPH, from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children Research Institute's Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics; Joel Frader, MD, MA, from the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine; John Lantos, MD, from the Children's Mercy Bioethics Center, University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine; Paul Menzel, PhD, from Pacific Lutheran University; and Kathryn L. Moseley, MD, MPH, from the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases, University of Michigan.

Located in downtown Seattle's biotech corridor, Seattle Children's Research Institute is pushing the boundaries of medical research to find cures for pediatric diseases and improve outcomes for children all over the world. Internationally recognized investigators and staff at the research institute are advancing new discoveries in cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics, among others. As part of Seattle Children's Hospital, the research institute brings together leading minds in pediatric research to provide patients with the best care possible. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine, which consistently ranks as one of the best pediatric departments in the country.

Rosle Meat Hammer is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diane from Exceptional Meat Hammer The Rosle meat hammer is the best I have owned. I have had several in the past, and none have come close in quality and performance. The craftsmanship is excellent; it is all stainless steel, the hammer end is well weighted and the handle is comfortable and easy to grip. Best of all, it is dishwasher safe. I have given these as gifts and they are much appreciated. Well worth the money!

Bridget Freas: I'm Bridget Freas with Morningstar. Joining me from Steel Dynamics is Dick Teets; executive vice president and COO for steelmaking. He is also one of the founders of the company less than 20 years ago, making Steel Dynamics one of the relative newcomers to the U.S. steel industry and it's grown to be one of the larger steel companies and metals recyclers in the U.S.
Dick, thanks for being here.
Freas: I would like to start off talking about the selling price of steel, which has been very volatile in the last few years, particularly for flat-rolled. Now, some of that volatility can be explained by the high cost of raw materials, iron ore, and scrap, but I'm wondering do you think there is anything else that's driving the shortened price cycles, and what has Steel Dynamics been doing to maximize profitability when your selling prices change so quickly?
Teets: I think some of the other influencing factors in the changing steel prices, from a sales perspective, are inventory levels and bank credit availability of the customers that buy from us and would normally carry inventories. Also the, I call it, panic-buying mode sometimes happens when people are watching the cycles because they have such short inventory cycles. When their inventories become maybe distressingly low, they have to go out and quickly buy and hope that it is at the bottom of the cycle. And when the prices start to rise, then all of a sudden the orders flow in.
I think the things that we do a little bit differently are that, number one, we understand it and we don't react in a manner that some of our competitors do because with our variable cost structure, our low cost structure, we can weather the storm better when our backlogs are shorter and so forth than we'd like. But needless to say, some of our competitors with fixed costs and large requirements to feed blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces have to go out and react a little bit differently, and we can sort of ignore that panic at the time.
Freas: Yeah, and you mentioned the cost structure. I think one of the things that has really stood out during the recession is how much profitability depends on your raw-materials cost base given that steel prices and raw-materials prices no longer move so closely in tandem. Steel Dynamics has made a number of initiatives on this front, first with Iron Dynamics, then the purchase of OmniSource, and now more recently with Mesabi Nugget. How do you think these things have changed the competitive environment? Do you feel that they give the company a leg up, or do you think these types of initiatives are becoming a must-have for any steel company to effectively compete?
Teets: Well, I don't know that it's a must-have, though many of our competitors have also started ventures not in as many different areas as we have but on a limited basis. I think it gives you a very strategic benefit whereas we're now involved in the scrap business. The scrap company that we own is OmniSource, and it supplies about 45% of what we consume, and we only buy maybe 43% of what it produces. So, it gives us a great opportunity. We're still out there in the market.
We're paying market prices, but it has afforded us, just like those customers I referred to in the first answer with lower inventory levels, it has allowed us to take our inventories down ahead of the mills. So, therefore, we benefit from that involvement. Mesabi Nugget and Iron Dynamics are both great projects that take us out of the scrap markets from that equivalency standpoint. We continue to invest, and we'll continue to invest in that backward integration.

You've earned the right to a higher education through your service in the U.S. Armed Forces. But how do you use your GI Bill benefits? Which version is right for you? The Legion can help answer questions about state and/or federal education benefits, who can use them, and how long.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has deployed a new automated system that is delivering faster, more accurate payments to veterans attending school under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The technology relies upon information from veterans and specialized rules-based software to streamline the process for calculating veterans' benefits.
The new processes and software available to VA's claims personnel replace the interim tools in use since August 2009, when the Post-9/11 GI Bill became effective.
VA has issued more than $8 billion in Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit payments to nearly 440,000 students and their educational institutions. The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays schools directly for the tuition and fees incurred by eligible veterans and active-duty personnel. Those payments are based upon the maximum rate in each state for tuition and fees at the in-state level for undergraduates. A monthly housing allowance is also provided.
Also included is a maximum $1,000 annual stipend for books and supplies, and a one-time payment of $500 for students who reside in specific rural areas. For further information about the Post-9/11 GI Bill, click here. http://www.gibill.va.gov

About us
Clarion West Writers Workshop is a nonprofit literary organization based in Seattle, Washington, with a mission to improve speculative fiction by providing high quality education to writers at the start of their careers. As an extension of its primary mission, Clarion West also makes speculative fiction available to the public by presenting readings and other events that bring writers and readers together.
Speculative fiction—science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, and slipstream—gives voice to those who explore societal and technological change, along with deeper considerations of underlying archetypes of human experience. Although there are fine science fiction and fantasy writers of all ethnicities, races, and genders, historically the field has reflected the same prejudices found in the culture around it, leading to proportionately fewer successful writers of color and women writers than white male writers. Within the limitations of the workshop, Clarion West is dedicated to improving those proportions.
Modeled after the original Clarion Workshop held in Clarion, Pennsylvania, which in turn was modeled on the Milford Writers Workshop, Clarion West has been held continuously in Seattle, Washington since 1984, with three earlier sessions held here in 1971, 1972, and 1973. From the beginning, the workshop been run by writers, for writers. The 1971 workshop was initiated by Vonda N. McIntyre, a Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author and a Clarion graduate herself, with the support of the original Clarion workshop's founder, Robin Scott Wilson. In 1984 J.T. Stewart, a Seattle writer who attended the 1973 session, and another local writer, Marilyn J. Holt, reconvened the workshop.
Clarion West incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1986, with workshop alumni and other interested members of the science fiction community forming its first Board of Directors. With the help of many dedicated volunteers and a core of committed professional staff, Clarion West has produced some of science fiction and fantasy's top writers and editors. Graduates have received every major form of recognition in the field, including the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards.
Clarion West is honored to receive support from a broad and diverse group of organizations. This support, along with individual donations, enables the organization to fulfill its mission.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — An opening statement in the opening round.
The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team led wire-to-wire while starting the 2013-14 postseason off on a solid note Monday night during a 56-12 victory over visiting Coshocton Christian in an Ohio Christian School Athletic Association Southeast regional semifinal matchup in the Old French City.
The Lady Defenders (9-13) scored three seconds into regulation and were ahead 4-0 just 30 seconds in, as the hosts held the third-seeded Lady Wildcats (4-6) without a field goal in the first quarter en route to a 9-3 advantage.
Coshocton Christian — which missed its first 21 field goal attempts of the game — picked up its first basket after Mary Hill drained a trifecta at the 1:42 mark of the second canto, sparking a small 5-0 run that allowed the guests to close to within 15-8 with 1:19 left in the half.
Sarah Schoonover sank a free throw with 56 seconds remaining, which allowed the hosts to secure a 16-8 edge headed into the break.
The Lady Defenders made 6-of-30 field goal attempts in the opening 16 minutes, while the Lady Wildcats were 2-of-26 overall from the floor. OVCS owned a 21-18 edge on the halftime glass and committed eight turnovers, compared to 11 by the guests.
Emily Carman — who missed all but the opening 90 seconds of the first half with foul trouble — helped spark the hosts in the second half, as OVCS forced 12 turnovers during a 25-2 third period surge that turned a three-possession game into a sizable 41-10 lead headed into the finale.
The second-seeded Lady Defenders closed regulation with a 15-2 run to wrap up the 44-point outcome, which proved to be the largest lead of the night.
Ohio Valley Christian will face the winner of the New Hope Christian and Dominion Academy contest that will be played later this week. The location and date of the OCSAA Southeast regional final have yet to be determined.
The Lady Defenders outrebounded the guests by a sizable 53-30 margin, including a 31-8 edge on the offensive glass. OVCS also committed just 11 turnovers in the triumph, compared to 26 by the Lady Wildcats.
Ohio Valley Christian netted 22-of-78 field goal attempts for 28 percent, including a 1-of-8 effort from three-point range for 13 percent. The Blue and Gold also sank 11-of-17 free throw attempts for 65 percent.
Sarah Schoonover led the hosts with a game-high 17 points, followed by Bekah Sargent with 12 points and Cassandra Hutchinson with 10 markers. Emily Carman was next with nine points, while Rachel Sargent and Teah Elliott rounded out the winning tally with four markers apiece.
Coshocton Christian connected on 4-of-44 shot attempts for nine percent, which included a 1-of-15 effort from behind the arc for seven percent. The Lady Wildcats were also 3-of-8 at the charity stripe for 38 percent.
Jessie Hedrtrom led CCA with four points, followed by Brooke McHugh and Sarah McCreery with three markers apiece. Anna Egbert rounded out the guests' scoring with two points.

Ss Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso, Rome, ItalyPosted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 18 January 2008 in Art & Design. The XVIIth century church Ss Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso hosts a ceilling fresco of Giacinto Brandi (1623-1691), showing the Fall of the Rebel Angels. My (old) coffee-table book of selected postings. More MadScientist: eclecticimaging.tumblr.com, the guy behind this blog @Tali: These churches are simply great. In the next few weeks I'll present some shots of their interiors. @Michael Skorulski: The architects of these churches managed to provide majesty as well as cosiness. The visitor doesn't get a feeling like being just a small object as it happens so often in buildings of secular power. I immediately felt good in these churches. @Steven: Even in December Rome is spoilt by the sun (at least in the eyes of the occasional visitor). Most of the churches are quite well lit, others are illuminated by costly artificial lighting you might switch on for a small fee. And, last but not least: these churches are made for watching! There are better locations for contemplation if one wants to be alone with God; splendid churches like this one are made for overwhelming their visitors. So you're always sitting in the first row and have a great sight, wherever you're looking at. @Zahra: Keep chasing that rainbow, Zahra! There is food for thought and action in every image we watch! @Laurent: Many thanks! Baroque churches in Rome are always 'compliant', so it's not really difficult to make a nice photo. As I've written in response to Steven's comment: these churches are made for watching! @Ina: Thank you very much :-) @Porcsin: There are so much of them, you don't know where to start and to end. Could be there forever! @Michael: Hast 'ne Mail! :-) @Pouhou: Thank you :-) @Anne: Not if you lay the camera down on the floor and use a remote control. The only processing here was to rotate the image a little bit. Just try it in a huge building with something interesting on the ceiling, it's simple! @Japanalia: Thank you for your polite comment! :-) |

You can't read anything into the number of patches. Everything could have been fixed in one patch or the same number of bugs could have been fixed in a 100 patches. SI's plan prior to release was three patches the same as previous years and it will probably be the same next year.
Yes one game breaking bug is worse than 100 small ones but the fact there were less bugs overall suggests SI are moving in the right direction.

I'm definitely wanting this perfume next time I go to my Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I'm stuck between this one & Love at first Glow. I'm definitely in the mood for fresher clean scents. I sniffed a test spray & loved it! What would my fellow spritz society recommend between the 2?
This is my favorite JLO perfume. I guess Im weird cause everyone loves the original GLO except me, this one is very fresh and clean and smells like that scene in Splash where the mermaid takes a bath in the bathtub! I smell water/water lilies and a bit of fruitiness which must be the mangosteen(you don't get that in very many perfumes) but my only issue is I wish it lasted longer. Im not one for huge sillage but in this case Id like just a bit more. I would buy this since its not expensive but I think of it more as a body spray like Calgon because that's the longevity you will get. A shame because I really love the scent. Maybe its too light and airy to 'stick around" for long.
Lolz...I just bought one for me today and I opened it at this moment and it came naked, no "jewelry" on it.
Smells similar to Ralph Blue & Brit Speers Curious to me but has a more unisex aspect n one note that hangs harsh on me at the beginning like Ylang-Ylang.
I know this is from 2010, but I bought a new never used bottle about a year ago and now it wreaks. Never been exposed to sun or anything, and it's already gone back. Kinda bummed. Smelled nice before.
I dont like most of JLo's perfumes except Deseo, I find most of the GLo line too harsh for my nose.. I tried this from a sample and I like it a lot more than JLo Glo original. Its cooler and cleaner and didn't have that 'bug spray' initial smell. I have tried Britney's Island Fantasy which has similar listed notes and hated it, it was too sweet but this one isn't. The one thing I liked about JGlo original was the underlying musk note and that is still present here but the top notes are softer and more mellow.
Unfortunately it didn't last very long, about 2 hours or so then completely gone. I would consider buying it if wasn't so short lived. My mom liked this even though she hates most perfumes.
I have to agree with the reviewer who said this isn't a beach like scent. I honestly don't think any part of it is. I get heavy aquatic and woods notes. There a no florals that come out on my skin. I don't know why but this reminds me a lot of the beginning of spring. Right when the snow is melting and flowers are starting to bloom. It just has that airy freshness of spring. It's a unique fragrance that I find hard to describe. I guess because it doesn't really transition. It smells the same from start to finish. I would recommend it, but it probably wouldn't stand out in your collection.
So, I've been contemplating getting a new summer scent but have been trying to figure out which one I wanted. I have been on a budget and wasn't planning on getting one for a while now or at least closer to summer.
So I happened to be in Marshall's yesterday and they had quite a few perfumes on sale saw the 100 ml of this for $15.00 and thought hmmm wonder if its good. So while trying on a few items in the fitting room I looked it up on fragrantica and reviews were mixed but it looked like a fun scent & for the price if I didnt like it no biggie....so I got it!
So, at first from the bottle this smelled very strong in a bad way. So I tried it out on my skin and I wasn't sure. Then I kept getting whiffs the next morning probably from my sheets or from the scent getting on my floor when I sprayed it. So this morning I sprayed it on again and its kinda nice. Floral but also juicy and fresh in a soapy way. Some note in this reminds me of something in Polo sport by RL & also Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers which I liked but was too fruity for me and didnt last. Something in this balances the fruitiness where it doesn't smell like a fruit bowl...maybe the rose.
This may be a nice little cheap find for summer so I don't have to shell out a lot of money and satisfy my want for a new summer scent. The bottle is surprisingly ok too wish it had turquoise incorporated in like the box but still nice :)
Edit: I actually like this! Blue Glow is a nice scent for everyday for that shower fresh scent. I think I'll use this for work since it seems to have moderate sillage but is not strong. Clean & fresh something I've been searching for so I'm happy! I will be testing it further as well :)
So I officially love this! Fresh & very inoffensive but present for when you want to smell nice & pretty but not overpowering. Perfect to throw on anytime. I may go get a backup bottle while they still have this in stock
Thank goodness i got this in the lotion first. Yes. It was another blind buy. I don't really like it. On my skin its a very mixed up sort of smell. There is one distinctive sharp smell that stands out though. I cant even tell what that is!!I don't like it.
Is a very comfortable scent. In my skin is an aquatic-floral one. It doesn't remind me of beach or something like that (i lived for 17 years on a shore city), but instead it reminds me of rain. The summer rain kinda feeling, when the sun is still there, but is raining, and the air is humid and nice. The water lily and the orchid are the most prominent notes on my skin, along with the mangostine.
If you don't wanna think about rain, another feeling this fragrance gives me is that when you're leaving the beach, and your skin is hot and salty and you take a cold shower.
The only thing is: is really weak :T
Pretty, elongated wine bottle silhouette filled with a cobalt colored juice. It was between this one and Sunkissed Glow at a local discount department store. Blue Glow may be a misnomer. I might call it Hawaiian Christmas Glow. Top note is an orange in my stocking, with a strangled balsam underneath that. Then there's a pumelo, or some pungent citrus, with a little acidic, sparkly grapefruit, too. There are mulling spices, a suggestion of cinnamon and clove, then a more standout plum and violet duet hang over the heart. The drydown gives way to a freesia, and some other indolic floral note, like orange flower or Hawaiian pikake. The base is the warm and sexy musk with which JLO's Glow flankers are commonly associated. Less marine and cool, more warm spicy floral. This is a bit more restrained and office friendly than the forwardness of Miami Glow, but the two share very similar DNA. Sillage is close to skin, and the longevity is better than expected, lasting six pleasant hours, so far.
This perfume is if Cool Water and Aqua di Gioia had a baby. It smells kind of clean and plain, and unfortunately doesn't last long. This was a cheap TJMaxx buy.
I have had this perfume for a while...it was a gift...Not something I would recommend if you like all floral/sweet smells...this is the scent of a summer day at the beach...disappointing sillage...I liked the accessory that came with the bottle...I wear it as a bracelet often!
Today was the first time I have worn this since I got it 2 or 3 yrs ago. SUMMER IS HERE !!!! When is RIO Glow by JLO going to come out?
I loved this one reminded me of davidoff cool water lasted ages smelt quite masculine too though
It really does smell someone is trying to mask bodyodour or sweaty pits with deodorant, Worst Blind-buy :(
I thought this was really nice. I smell citrus, aquatic notes and floral notes as well. Overall, I think it's a pleasant, non-offensive, light perfume. Nothing too earth shattering but would be quite pretty on the right person.
The smell is lovely yet it fades away so fast I didn't have time to appreciate it. An hour later it was gone :(. Don't buy this perfume, not worth the money.
Okay so overall nice fragrance.I do really like the smell but it gave me a wicked headache:(BOO
So this fragrance smells like the sea...LOVE IT,its so beautiful and I am so glad I picked this up..it is very light...but smells so nice..
Blue Glow opens with a blast of mangosteen, which smells like some sort of a nutty lychee, orange and a cold rose note.
This mix makes me think of summer, sun, beach huts and cocktails instantly.
Of the perfume's heart the most noticeable notes are rose, water lily and the marine notes which create an overall beachy and marine scent.
I cannot pinpoint any of the base notes as the scent remains quite linear on my skin.
The overall lasting power is quite good: 6 hours before the scent disappears, which, to be honest, I did not expect.
The sillage is average, maybe slightly below.
Overall, Blue Glow is not unique but it is indeed a really nice fruity and summery fragrance, ideal for holidays in the sun or for the colder season if you need a fragrance that reminds you of sandy beaches and the sea.
It's not a "love" but definitely a "like" for me.
Purchased Blue Glow at the duty free shop while on vacation this summer - GORGEOUS bottle which makes me think of blue sea glass! The fragrance itself is light, fresh, cool, beachy & sexy - I just wish it had more staying power. Love it and will be wearing this one all summer, but sure wish it didn't wear off so soon. They should make travel-size solid perfumes for this line that you could toss in your purse or beach bag. This would make it easy to reapply during the day.
Too aquatic and musky, not too feminine, reminds me of CKin2U pop men, I think it is wearable for men too. Good for summer days.
Very aquatuc, it doesnt lst long though, and I can smell cocunut in this even though the notes dont say that! Overall nice for summers when you dont want a stong perfume.
Emma x
nice mix between mangosteen an aquatic notes!
I was just about to buy it, when I realizes it fades away in a sec.
It is a Crowd pleaser as well, could be an aquatic floral with fruity hints.
So far the most appealing "glows" to me.
Buena mezcla entre mangosteen y notas acuáticas!
Estaba a punto de comprarla cuando me di cuenta que desaparece en cuestion de segundos.
Esta hecho para satisfacer a las masas, bien podría ser un floral acuático con pintas frutales.
Para mi, Hasta ahora, el más apetecible de los "Glows".
Starts and ends with citrus. At first, you get a burst of citrus intermingled with mostly woods and some flowers. I actually like the way this smells at this point. After a short while, everything but the citrus seems to fade away, and you're left with a very lonely orange. Overall, this fragrance fades very quickly, and there's almost nothing left of it after a few hours.
Wow! I didn't expect much from this but I am in love with Blue Glow!
At first spray you get an amazingly fresh orange and rose which continue well into the base notes. I feel the mango and orange in this truly balances out the floral notes and keeps it fresh and mouthwatering. It's as if you would put some fresh oranges in mineral water and add rose petals to it.
Lasting power is also surprisingly good. I got around 5-6 hours of wear and the drydown was just as fresh. Highly recommended I think I will buy it again if it's available.
The scent of this perfume is light, sweet and beautiful. My only complaint is the lasting power. The lasting power is very poor. This is one of those perfumes I can see I'll have to be spraying every 2 hours to maintain the scent on my skin, but I still like it. I'll probably have to buy another bottle sooner than later since I can see the 1.7 ounces won't last long
For adding my review: This one is really juicy, spesifically like Orange Juice, i feels like wanna drink it, hehehee.. Just like orange juice, it makes you hot days would be fun, perfect summer fragrance :D
Finally i got it!!! It's very hard to find in my country Indonesia, it makes me had to search in Singapore, n i got it there. OMG... I'm so fallin in love with this, it's very summer, perfect to use at my tropical country. Can't wait to buy L.A Glow. Good job J.Lo :D
I've only had my Blue Glow since March and it's now October. It only took 7 months for it to turn. So disappointing! It has no scent to it now. Well maybe just a tiny bit but nothing like it used to have. I smelled it on me when I went to class at 11 and came home at 7 and that was just probably a month ago. Scents can turn that quickly? I've had all the previous Glows for yrs and they still smell just fine. They all still have scents to them. I really enjoyed Blue Glow while it lasted. It was a fun 7 months. Oh well I guess. Enjoy your Blue Glow while you can everyone. : )
As it stands I really don't like any Jlo scent except Glow After Dark. When this opens there is a barely there and hardly noticeable opening of citrus with a dash of some slightly sweet and acquatic mess.
Blue Glow also really smells NOTHING like Glow After Dark. LOL! Luckily it doesn't smell as artificial as Miami Glow which is a huge upgrade! ;') Not upset though, since it was a swapped item but this has failed to move me in any (positive) way.
It is very hard to smell this after a few minutes on my skin and it seems to vanish after an hour or so on paper. Overall I really don't like it. Sorry Jlo. ;'( I'd choose Cool Water over this is you are looking for something cheap, fruity and "acquatic".
Well for me this is an easy review. It's a lightened version of Glow after Dark. The dry down, which comes quickly, is identical. Done.
This one isn't anywhere near as interesting or special as some of the other Glow perfumes.
It's a kind of orangey blend of sorts with a few aquatic notes thrown in for good luck.
If there were any base notes I missed them because it was gone so quickly.
Will have to re-try this and hopefully get more from it.
Blue Glow is a bubble-gummy, soapy, shower-gel-like fragrance, which is actually quite delicious and refreshing. The mangostine note is really interesting and makes this frag differ from other fruity-floral-tropical creations. I might get a body lotion for myself this summer.
I found this today at Kohls by accident. I love all of JLo's perfumes! This one is a close second so far to Miami Glow! I really like it. Now to find the lotion and shower gel.
A new love of my life!! It opens strong and sweet.. Def smell the orange and cranberry .. Yum.. I smell aquatic freesia as it settles and the finally is just so nice.. I am kinda reminded of an escada scent.. Just can' t put my finger on it!
i think it is aquatic when i see the bottle.it is very fresh fruity,what a nice suprise:)orange and tonka everlasting.
I smelled Blue Glow and I really liked it specially for summer, very fruity, clean and refreshing! I couldn't stop smelling my wrist! The staying power is very good!
I don't find Blue Glow to be vastly different to any of Jennifer Lopez's other creations, however I find the scent rather refreshing.
The blue bottle is rather misleading in my opinion. I expected something oceanic - aquatic and salty. What I get is a tropical fruity floral with soapy undertones.
The citrusy orange in the opening is rather sharp yet surprisingly not unpleasant to my nose. It smells very much like orange juice, very tart and minus the sugary hit.
The florals aren't very distinct, just a mild flowery/soapy feel was all that I could sense. The watery notes, although present, won't fulfill an aquatic lover's desires.
I was actually amazed at Blue Glow's lasting strength, it has lasted well over 6 hours. I managed to experience the drydown which turns out to be very woodsy with a faint hint of orange lingering on the skin.
Not bad from the J.Lo range I must say, however nothing out of the ordinary.
I finally found Blue Glow 2day at kohls!! I LOVE it!! Its perfect for summer. Its so refreshing!! I love the orange and mangosteen in the top notes!! It has a very nice tartness to it. It reminds me of D&G L'Imperatrice. I could smell the mossy notes in the bottom and I really like it. Its a fresh fruity green scent. I like it more then her Love @ 1st, Luxe, After Dark, and My Glow. I need to get me a bottle real soon!! : )
Must add that coty should make her frags.it.s much clearer and sharper as the notes goes.and last longer.and the soapy smell is gone.yeah.
Its almost like cool water, foam sea note,mango,woods.perfect for summer!the mango brings a splash of sweetness and fruitness! If it was only foam sea note it would not be as sweet and sexy! The mango in this one is really what brings the fragrance together! The wood complete it nicely!love that it's fresh and sweet at the same time! Love it!
ILooovePerfume sent me her bottle to test out, Thanks BAYBEE!!!, and I don't like it. It kinda smells like something I've smelled before, but....I can't really describe it. It's fruity, but kinda like rotting fruit or something. I can't really explain it :/. My allergies are REALLY acting up now, so that might be why :(
Oh, and she got it from Zappos.com
This is for you sweetheart you know who you are =)
I was sooooo excited to get this fragrance!! i was the first outof me jonr & apassj!
Jlo blue glow smells really orangey & fresh at first then quickly turns into a musky earth smell like leaves and wood. Definately not my favorite fragrance from jlo-I do LOVE the bottle and packaging though theyre beautiful!
i read online that there is a flanker of this already called "glow after blue". I've only seen it on foreign sites. Its a transparent blue bottle. Im not sure of any notes...
